Yep, tomboy here, too, all my life. Never liked dresses, as Mom would buy them but I would reject them in favour of jeans. Can't climb trees, ride bikes, or do anything fun wearing a damned dress as a kid. I wanted to explore the world, not sit around looking pretty, but being useless and a 2nd class citizen for the trouble. Just leave me alone and let me do my thing. I've been married 3x, had 2 kids and raised them. Have twin 20 yr old grand daughters now. Husband of 30 yrs just passed away from cancer. Have had a full life. Wouldn't change it for anything. I am me and always asserted such. Didn't need or thank goodness have anyone telling me I was a different sex than I have always been.
Oh, and I neglected to mention my Mom came out as Gay when I was 13, so I started defending all gays from there on out. I have come to learn through her and my 30 yr career as a livestock farmer, that a certain % of humans are gay, and that is normal IMO. In my livestock career, I saw about 10 - 15% of males were homosexual. So, that just reinforced what my Mom explained to me about how she felt. She never felt like a man in a woman's body. She was just attracted to women, not men. She got married to try to be 'normal' because back in the 60's people were just horrible to gay people.
I believe that many that think they are born in the wrong body are now coerced into it, and most have mental health issued from the interventions that are being wrongfully done. IMO it is child abuse to do surgery on a child. Once someone is of legal age, if they still feel that way and are fully informed and prepared for a lifetime of sufferance on a large drug regimen, then, well, that is then their adult choice to make. I'm pretty sure that is why very few actually did it.
No idea. It is just what I observed in real life with raising a flock of 300 sheep over the past 30 yrs. So, I had approximately 12 herd sires that I used on the ewes, but all the births were approximately 50/50 male/female and we raised the majority of the males for meat animals to anywhere from 6 - 11 mos of age (till they got market size, but less than 1 yrs old to still be considered 'lamb' and not sheep), and the majority of the females were sold as breeding stock, barring any defects or low performance numbers. Very few males made the cut to be sold as breeding stock.
Ultimately, I would suspect that it is caused by a high sex drive and lack of females to use it on. But there have been males that people have had to ship because they preferred each other rather than the females, when they would put 2 or 3 males in with a large group of females to breed.

Ten to 15% of males are homosexual...I wonder why that might be, from an evolutionary point of view.
